Start my diagnosis →Suspension mounting points affected in salt-belt states
Check engine light: Off
Rear subframe corrosion at suspension mounting points in salt-belt states can cause "rear suspension component failure." A recall exists (26V365000), but NHTSA complainants report parts-availability issues preventing the recall repair from being performed.
A follow-up campaign was issued after the first repair failed
Check engine light: Off
Moisture enters the tailgate lid light assembly, causing taillight failure — a recall exists (19V256000), but a later follow-up campaign (25V259000) was issued because vehicles already repaired under the first campaign still showed the same moisture-intrusion defect.
Torque converter failures, RPM fluctuations
Check engine light: On
Transmission hesitation, stuttering, and juddering between gears occur — "transmission feels like it slips, shimmys, tachometer jumps" — alongside torque converter failures and RPM fluctuations at 35-40 mph.
"Steering wheel locked and could not be turned"
Check engine light: On
Power steering failures and lockups occur — "steering wheel locked and could not be turned" while driving.
"Large sheet of paint peeled off roof"
Check engine light: Off
Roof paint peels and delaminates — "large sheet of paint peeled off roof."

It is compiled from aggregated owner-reported data and publicly available sources, not from an inspection of your vehicle. Symptoms described here can have multiple causes, and the presence of a commonly reported problem does not mean your vehicle has it. Repair cost ranges are estimates that vary by region, shop, vehicle condition, and parts availability.

Rear subframe corrosion at suspension mounting points in salt-belt states is covered by a confirmed recall, but owners report parts-availability issues preventing the repair — a confirmed new instance of both a frame/subframe-rust pattern and its parts-unavailable pattern. Separately, a taillight moisture-intrusion recall required a later follow-up campaign because the original remedy didn't resolve the defect.
